At least the Canadians recognize that polar bears are dangerous and that guns are good defensive tools.

“At least the Canadians recognize that polar bears are dangerous and that guns are good defensive tools.”

Yeah, about time. I was surprised when Canadians passed such restrictive gun legislation several years ago. I think they're having “voters remorse” now.

Here in the U.S., finally, we can legally be armed in national parks now. We don't have polar bears but we do have our cougars and grizzlies who snack on humans every now and then...

Isn't that nice. Another government is going to ALLOW its citizens to exercise their God-given right to protect themselves... SO nice of them. /s

When are people going to rise up and demand that governments get out of their way!?!?!?!

“Derocher said the bears can be very unpredictable. Sometimes they are simply curious when confronted by humans, but other times they may be hungry and searching for food”.

Polar bears are extremely aggressive, even more so than Grizzlies, and they’ll often attack on sight, whether or not they’re hungry. You might get lucky with pepper spray, but a gun is a safer bet, and a large caliber gun at that (as Robert Ruark would say ‘use enough gun’).

It’s a step in the right direction.
